Hebbville, I'd District.-Mr. William Leibno,

Hebbville, I'd District.-Mr. William Leibno,
a highly respected citizen of this community, has
been quite i'll for the last two weeks, having con-
tracted severe cold which attacked his throat and
left lung, and he narrowly escaped pneumonia,
from which so many of the aged in this commu-
nifty have died recently. DR.. Monmonier is at
tending him.
Squire Fishpaw's family has been attacked
with diphtheria. His four children-three little
boys and little girl-are very i'll, but it is thought
not dangerously so. By the constant care of both
the father and mother and the skill of DR.. Hebb,
it is hoped that their little ones will soon become
convalescent. All sympathize with them in their
great affection.
Mr.. George Loose, n young man of this commu-
nifty, took severe cold two weeks ago and has
since been lying helpless child with pneumo-
mia and rheumatism His recovery was very
doubtful few days ago, but now there seems to
be change for the better and perhaps he will get
over it.
Mr.. Joseph Pierpont's children, who have been
very i'll with diphtheria and scarlet fever, are
rapidly convalescing and no doubt will soon be
out of danger
Mr.. Peter Clay and his mother visited Henry
Clays the other evening. The horse gnawed the
hooking strap in two and, notwithstanding the
inky blackness of the night ran home through the
woods with the spring-wagon without breaking
anything or injuring himself.
Mr. Frederick Helvick is erecting fine resi-
dence on his farm near Randallstown, which will
be great improvement to that section.
Four gentlemen, acquaintances of Mr.. Peter
Clay, came out from the city to 60 cunning. They
left their horse and dayton at Mr. Clays and start
ed through the woods. They had not gone far
before one got lost, and when he found himself hc
was near Alberton. The others wandered as far as
Randallstown. Finally they returned with only
two or three birds and nearly exhausted. One of
the sportsmen invariably shut both eyes when he
fred, and therefore it is not to be wondered at
that they did not do better.
Friday night of last week was another gala
night for the literary association. Prof. Schawns,
Mr.. Washington Hipsley and others from ALDER
ton, with their various instruments were present,
and their instrumental duets, trios and quartets
were very charming, and for which a vote of thanks
was given them. The question, "Resolved, that
newspapers are beneficial to community" was
argued in the affirmative by Messrs. Hipsey and
Trainor, and in the negative by Messrs. Timanus,
Frizzell, J. A. Smith, Prof. Schawns and ]. Upton
Decided by the judges in favor of the Affirmative
Mr.. ]. A. Smiths rendition of al won't get mar
ried till CAM" was very laughable.
Last Tuesday the snow laid four inches deep on
the ground and "piping March" was still venting
its spleen upon the long since weary winter bound
Just as our roads had become somewhat passable
Old Boreas breathed nightly from the west and
again we are compelled to plod through slush and
snow. "Oh, when will Winters icy chains be
broken so that we can go forth to show our new
spring bonnets," deeply sighed the belle of Hebb-
vile the other day.
Mrs. William Riddle has been very sick from
severe cold, recently contracted, but is GONZALES
cent.
Mr.. Emory Zimmerman, while returning from
the city the other day with a four-horse team and
a. load of manure, had an upset. 1t is said that
he had "bad horse" in. Men should not put a
"bad horse" in then their lives would not be jeop-
ardized. The majority of accidents that have
happened in this section to teamsters we're because
they put chad horse" in.
Messrs Luther Timanus, George H. Smith and
your correspondent we're very agreeably enter
tanned last Sunday afternoon, at Mr. Hemp's, by
the Misses Hemp, Miss Hodges, of Frederick, and
Miss Florence Timanus, who sang and played
many enlivening airs, and finally by the good
hostess, Mrs. Hemp, who always takes care that
visitors are thoroughly RECALLED before taking their
departure. L.
